"This rich, evocative, rousing show, with some 50 musical numbers ranging from African chants and spirituals to Delta and Chicago blues, with plenty of stops along the dusty roads, river banks, broken country hearts and juke joints in between, is more than a musical feast. Besides its cornucopia of splendidly interpreted song, It Ain't Nothin' but the Blues is a potent blend of visual eloquence and historical sweep that engages the eye and touches the heart while its songs soothe the ear, occasionally work mischief on the funny bone and always raise the spirits.... It's a sure cure for the blues!" ~ N.Y. Times
"It rocks the audience right up to heaven!" ~ Newhouse Newspapers
"Exhilarating!" ~ N.Y. Daily News
"A non stop, joyous spree of entertainment" ~ Newark Star Ledger
